meh I still would prefer people to do that than people that have no desire to work at all and just will live off benefits forever, I mean there are people on this site, this board even who will likely do that.. they are they ones who don't contribute IMO
slightly off topic
That said we are a mile away from the next trade period so this thread will be filled with a lot of fluff for a while!
Will be interesting to see the attitude of banned Bombers players... and if any will want a fresh start and to move on
Yes not saying they are the only ones or even the worst as atleast they contribute during part of their working age to get where they can buy houses. It just ticks me off that people aspire to retiring ridiculously early without any consideration for the impacts on others. People who go travelling for 10 years while still young, people who dole bludge (not saying that all welfare receipiants are bludgers though as their is legitimate welfare), people who don't work and live off their partners income (not counting people who look after young children), people who do five different degrees and never use it to contribute. They come from all walks of life. They all reduce the standard of living for the rest of us.meh I still would prefer people to do that than people that have no desire to work at all and just will live off benefits forever, I mean there are people on this site, this board even who will likely do that.. they are they ones who don't contribute IMO

Now back on topic. Is this the thread talking about the hawthorn game, Chris Scott, Mackies slowness or was it the one talking about how awesome kernahan was?

I'm aware. Hence making the ridiculous statement of 1.25 Mil so funny. They also offered 3 years forcing Geelong to give him 2.
I've seen some threads go off track in my years, but Jesus Christ.
I think the best we can ask for is not to lose any player to either injury or switching clubs and thus keep our current list in tact for next year. Just don't see how we improve the list by acquiring ready made players due to our lack of trading power and salary cap.

I merged this to keep the number of threads on the topic from getting out of hand….

I really do not know how any one person could have rejected a near x2 payment knowing your career has maybe 3, 4 at most years left. Wouldn't you wanna make the most of it?
Sure there is loyalty but then there is stupidity.

Jesus Christ. O'Meara could be only the 3rd best in a midfield? You'd be better off just forfeiting all clearances from a Neale, Fyfe, Bennell and O'Meara side and save your energy!

Why would anyone want to go to St. Kilda?
and only page 3 ?
Daz good idea.....just on the merge... could you whack in a JOM in post 1..the focus of the post has been lost as it was the title of the original thread

JOM would be nice but I'd rather Kade Kolo.
Imagine a backline in 3 years Henderson CHB, Taylor FB (if still playing), then Jake Kolo & perhaps Gardner on the back flanks with Thurlow & Kade Kolo providing the run & good ball use on the rebound
Them losing JOM would only make getting KK harder. They will have to lose someone , and only so many dollars.
But Id say our chance of getting either is low..id put it as improbable to not quite impossible....unless we really give away to much to get one of them.
KK was a early pick... earlier than Cocky. Has played more than him. It would take a player like that plus a high pick to get him.

Don't know ask Freeman your great hope.
Obviously a few people want to... Carlise this year for one.... but id have to say there would be a few clubs id have in front of them.

He wanted to go to Carlton but they wouldn't give him a big contract, so he cracked the shits. Saints got sucked in to paying him big money and he chose them. He's a w***er.
The point is it a club with 10M cap...plenty will happily go there.

I don't think we would get him. Was just saying who I'd rather go after out of JOM & KK and what it may look like if we did get KK.

Getting out of Essendon....
one eyed cat
Team Captain
Some said GFC were reckless in spending and trading with little negotiation ( I wasn't one of them ) I thought they Targeted who and what they wanted and got the business done. I think The Saints blew it a bit, they did nothing but tit for tat with the Dons for 8 or 9 days for Carlyle, letting a lot of talent slip away, Did they not take into consideration WADA. Does Carlyle still get paid for the year. And Carlyle then tapes himself snorting something before he's even kicked a ball, The Saints r well known for wasting money. I think Essendon were the biggest winner here. BTW did they do a hair drug test on him to find out what he was taking.

Given the choice, which I personally feel wont ever be presented to us, Id take KK over JOM. The knees worry me a lot and KK, whilst not as high potential ceiling, to me seems the safer bet. Would luv it but the cost will be WAY above where we can go.
Even if he nominates us and nothing else, which I have no reason to believe he will, Im still not sure we could offer enough to meet the demands for him.

Your post is a bit inconsistent. On one hand you are saying they should of given up overs to get the deal done then you start talking about giving up to much?
